Domestic Scan on Addressing NPDES and Other Water Quality Issues in Highway System Maintenance

The National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsors a Domestic Scan Program (NCHRP Project 20-68A) to facilitate technology transfer among state DOTs. NCHRP is conducting research to evaluate how the technologies and practices identified through the Domestic Scan Program are being used by transportation practitioners beyond the scan participants. This survey is part of that effort to capture how those who have heard about the scan findings are using that information at their agencies.

This survey is an important opportunity to document the real, tangible benefits and value of the practitioner-to-practitioner information exchanges facilitated by the Domestic Scan Program. The goal of the program is to accelerate the spread of leading-edge, proven technologies and practices to DOTs across the country, thereby helping all agencies provide safer, longer-lasting, more cost-effective transportation facilities to their taxpayers. This survey is an effort to trace these impacts.
